Scorchess has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Most disappointing Le Mans ever so far for me

Not a chance they'll get back. Not enough hybrid power to drag it back because they didn't get much charge under SC. That's heart breaking.

Little things like that could help prevent the #2 Porsche from eventually passing the LMP2 winner?

If #1 and #9 encounter problems, I think even #2 can still win it - if that one stays problem free.

Where would we be if Toyota didn't bring a third car? Very fortunate that they did

Couldn't make the lap. Needed to do a full lap and might not have been fully charged under the SC.

Unless the #9 finds some speed and unlaps itself, this race will probably go to the #1 Porsche unless it wrecks or breaks down, but almost every LMP1 car has had some major issue so far, including it's teams. So, it's not immune either.

No this is worse, it's not even a race anymore. Last year it was extremely close for 23 hours and 50 minutes.

Yeah, and it's the hope getting dashed again after the heartbreak of last year.

Maybe they should try and field a car without a Japanese driver.

Or someone who race in Japan (Krosnoff 1994)

It's a shame that this race won't be a 24 hour sprint between all 5 factory cars, but we haven't been short of stories and plot twists.

We've been spoiled rotten at Le Mans ever since Peugeot got up to speed - yet Le Mans has come a long way since the 2000s when the race was essentially an Audi or Bentley benefit.

Agreed. There's no reason at this point to believe in either the porsche or toyota up front right now. 3/5 of the P1 field gone/out of contention already. And people are acting like nothing else will happen....

This feels more up in the air than races in previous years when you knew four or five cars were bulletproof and would be on the lead lap at the end.
